OPERATING COMPONENTS
8. A lock-out device may be attached to the lock-
ing pin retaining device (1) in order to prevent
removal of the locking pin.
Disengaging the Articulation Safety Bar
1. Remove any lock-out device from the locking
pin retaining device.
2. Lift the locking pin retaining device and with-
draw the locking pin.
3. Swing the articulation safety bar back into the
stowage position.
4. Lift the locking pin retaining device and fit the
locking pin in the stowage position.
Engaging the Bin Prop
When the bin is raised to perform any maintenance task,
the bin prop must be engaged.
The bin prop is dimensioned for an empty bin, thus
the bin must be empty before engaging the bin prop.
Ensure that the transmission is in neutral before en-
gaging the bin prop.
NOTE
An operator is required to control bin mo-
tion from inside the cab.
1. Raise the bin high enough to allow the bin prop
(1) to be rotated up until it comes to rest against
the travel stop (2).
2. Lower the bin down towards the bin prop. Limit
the engine speed as the bin comes close to the
point of engagement with the bin prop in order
to limit the force applied to the bin prop and re-
duce the bin travel speed to set it down gently
onto the bin prop.
3. Ensure that the bin prop is safely seated inside
the locating ring (3) at the bottom of the bin.
4. Alockoutdevicecanbefittedtothebinpropto
secure it in the engaged position.
Always check to ensure that the bin prop is located
securely within the locating ring on the bottom of the
bin before allowing any personnel underneath the bin
Disengaging the Bin Prop

been fitted to the bin prop.
2. Raise the bin high enough to allow the bin prop
to be hinged back down into the stowage posi-
tion on the chassis.
3. Lower the bin down onto the chassis.
Large Truck Bin Lifting
1. Ensure that all lifting equipment used is rated to
support the loads that are generated when lift-
ing the bin.
2. Use a four element sling and attach the individ-
ual elements to the bin lifting points as shown in
Figure 1. Lifting equipment may ONLY be at-
tached to the positions indicated. NEVER ex-
ceed the maximum rigging angles indicated in
Table 1.
3. NEVER attach soft slings directly to the bin lift-
ing positions.
4. Ensure that the centre of the lifting rigging is di-
rectly above the centre of gravity of the bin. Re-
fer to Table 1 for the approximate longitudinal
location of the bin centre of gravity (COG)
